Drawing on his own experiences as the former CEO and chairman of Baxter International, IWLA keynote speaker Harry Kraemer will lay out a pathway for understanding five key principles and putting them into practice. Attendees March 20 will better understand the following:

1. Use self-reflection to become your best self as you lead yourself and others more effectively.
2. Create a best team that understands and appreciates what they’re doing, and why.
3. Forge best partnerships through win/win collaboration with vendors and customers.
4. Support the mission, vision, and values of the organization to generate best investment returns.
5. And, make a difference in the world beyond the organization by becoming a best citizen.

Kraemer’s appearance is sponsored by Prologistix. He will sign copies of Becoming the Best: Build a World-Class Organization Through Values-Based Leadership at the Prologistix Booth 413 starting at 10:30 a.m. March 20. Not yet registered? There is still time.
